For the first time in my life….

 

I am the mom to a

5 YEAR OLD!

The thing this 5 year old was dying to do, was go camping in the ‘Minnie Winnie’.  We went out to Cheney Lake on Saturday.  One of Tuck’s best pals, Reece joined us.  What a great time for these kids.

  Yes, this is a cake with Batman in a (yes, your eyes are fine) FISHIING BOAT!  I wanted to stick to a camping/ fishing theme.  Tucker had his 5 year old heart set on Batman…..we compromised… 

This was the birthday year of the fake pet…. a ‘battery operated’ hamster in a ball….

…the turtle as a package decoration….

…this frog was not hurt in any way during the celebrating of this 5 year old…

…all this talk about ‘fake pets’ and I don’t even have a picture included of the beloved stretchy fish.  This was a gift that Tucker had seen in the gift shop at Cracker Barrel and JUST HAD TO HAVE!  Turns out, it’s a rubber PIRRANAH that will stretch from here to Boston…what fun!!!!???  Oh well, it’s his birthday.  I’d rather spend 3 dollars on a stretchy fish than 300 dollars on some fancy shmancy thing that will never get played with.

 

  

…WORN OUT! from a fun-filled camping trip…

 

Happy Happy Birthday my sweet boy.  You have forever changed my life.  I’m the luckiest person on earth to get to be your mom. ;-)

I love you

Tucker Man!
